How does changing the light intensity effect photosynthesis and why?
By changing the light intensity the rate of photosynthesis will either increase or decrease because it is one of the factors that affects photosynthesis. If you increase the light intensity the rate increases but if you decrease the light intensity the rate decreases.
How does light intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis?
Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis and vice versa.more intense light means more energy in the light, so the chloroplasts get more energy from light, making photosynthesis go faster
Is it true that an increase in light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis?
No, that is not true and increasing light intensity increases the photosynthetic rate, to a point. The saturation point is reached when the reactions in the reaction center have reached top speed and any more light intensity will not increase the rate of photosynthesis.
How does the rate of photosynthesis respond to changes in light intensity?
It directly increases along with the growth in intensity of the light
What is the relationship between an increase in light intensity and photosynthetic rate in tomato leaves?
As light intensity increases then the rate of photosynthesis increases until a point is reached when the rate levels off. Beyond this point is called the light saturation point of photosynthesis.
True or false As light intensity increases indefinitely the rate of photosynthesis increases indefinitely?
false.
Why does the rate of photosynthesis increase as light intensity increases?
I believe that it increases. -_-
As light intensity increases the rate of photsynthesis?
As light intensity increases at first the rate of photosynthesis also increases. However at higher light intensities the rate of photosynthesis levels off and becmes constant. This is because light is not the only factor needed for photosynthesis. So at high light intensities some other factor is running out eg CO2, temperature, so the extra light cannot be used. At very high intensities photosynthesis can decrease as the chlorophyll is bleached.
What is the relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate?
The relationship between light intensity and photosynthetic rate is that if the intensity of the light is high then the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However the rate of photosynthesis will only increase to an extent after intensity of light reaches a certain point photosynthesis rate will stay still.
How does light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun?
Light intensity and the rate of photosynthesis relate to the position of the sun in a few ways. The higher the sun the faster the rate of photosynthesis.
How does light affect photosynthesis?
Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis and vice versa.more intense light means more energy in the light, so the chloroplasts get more energy from light, making photosynthesis go faster
Does the rate of photosynthesis depend on the duration of light?
Low light intensity lowers the rate of photosynthesis, Normal sunlight is good for a normal rate of photosynthesis, Very high intensity bleaches (destruction) the chlorophyll
